Re: Working from home? Chandirasegaran, I'm not sure what you're replying to. There's no job opening here. It is a discussion on how to set up computers for remote access such as timbuktu.

Re: Working from home? Just to clarify things, we were just proposing to have 1 person 1 day a week working from home. Therefore, there would always be somebody on prepress in the shop at all times to handle whatever leg work is necessary. Prepress rarely handles front counter customers, and...

Re: Working from home? We tried it with Timbuktu. It was very slow and jerky, but we thought perhaps we had set it up wrong and was going to investigate further. Has anybody got it working smoothly? It would be great to be able to get this working.

Is there anyone out there who is set up to do prepress jobs from home? Our prepress department would like to allow each person one day a week to work from home via timbuktu. The ones at work would do the leg work involved...loading plates etc., but the one working at home would log in and do all...

Re: Saving back files from Adobe CS3 to CS2 The boss just doesn't want to spend the money to upgrade the other 3 stations. Their stations only output large format prints and color/bw copies, so accurate pantone matching hasn't been a problem. Whether I save it back to CS2 or export to pdf...

Re: Thick L's and i's in pdfs. Sometimes, tho not very often, we get client files that are already outlined. However, this thickening of the l's and i's happen whether the text is still a font or not.

Re: Thick L's and i's in pdfs. I understand the difference in print vs screen resolution. But I find it hard to accept that explanation because of the inconsistency in where this 'bolding' happens and when it doesn't happen. If all the L's get thicker, but the T or the H right next to it...

When making pdf proofs for our clients, they often show thick L's and i's on screen. If you zoom is really close, then they look okay, and they print out fine. However, our clients get all panicky about these l's and i's showing up looking very chunky compared to the rest of the text. We've...
